*Born in Jefferson County, Indiana, Joseph Eddy Smith, at about age two, migrated with
his family to St. Joseph, Missouri, and from there across the plains to Oregon, where his
parents, Joseph SMITH and Margaret MATHER SMITH, homesteaded in Multnomah County (Donation
Lan Claim #3418), about five miles northwest of Portland, bordering Washington County. As
a young man, Joseph Eddy SMITH returned to his mother's birthplace of LaRue County,
Kentucky from Oregon. There he married Nancy "Nannie" Elizabeth SCOTT, 14 March 1877,
Hodgensville, LaRue County, KY. There they started a family, then sometime later (after
1885) they returned to Cedar Mill, Oregon, (Multnomah & Washington counties) near his
parents' original land claim.
